    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an intrauterus pulse oximetric device which measures a fetal blood oxygen saturation degree in a section within the adequate region of a fetus. SOLUTION: A sensor 103 is mounted at a rigid cable 101 and can be inserted into the appearance section of the fetus and the uterus beyond the region within the cervix of the uterus. The cable 101 has visual and tactual marks which enable a user to guide the sensor 103 to the adequate section on the fetus without viewing or touching the sensor.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pulse oximeter whose sensor is put in an unreachable area on an embryo in the uterus suitable for measuring and with which it is possible to confirm that the operating surface of the sensor is firmly put on the embryo's skin. SOLUTION: A monitor 100 of the pulse oximeter is composed of a unit 102 for calculating the degree of saturation of oxygen and a contact display unit 104 equipped with a contact indicator 118. A sensor 200 is composed of a unit 204 for a contact signal and a light signal unit 202 for. The unit for the contact signal has a pair of electrodes 210 and 212 connected through buses 208, 209 to a current generator 106. A voltage value between these electrodes in an amniotic fluid 215 is measured with a unit 108 for measuring voltage. A comparator 112 judges a contact by comparing the above measured value with a threshold value T. The unit for calculating the degree of saturation of oxygen calculates the embryo's of saturation of oxygen in the blood based on a light pulse datum obtained through a bus 206.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a scroll compressor of high performance having a rib to easily and speedily dissipate heat generated while driving the compressor. SOLUTION: Involutes 79, 81 extending in the inside of a revolving side scroll 71 and a fixed side scroll 73 are maintained in a state their phases are slipped by 180 deg. each other, make contact with each other at a partial position and subdivide a fluid space. The involutes are made in dimensions and shapes to extend to a position to approach the opposite scroll, supported by each of the scrolls and have tip to partition an involute tip groove. Compliant seal is received in these involute tip groove, and seals so as not to make a clearance or a 'blowhole' between one of the involutes and a bottom part of the scroll opposite to this involute.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the application of Blind Source Separation (BSS), specifically independent Component Analysis (ICA) to mixture signals obtained by a pulse oximeter sensor. In pulse oximetry, the signals measured at different wavelengths represent the mixture signals, while the plethysmographic signal, motion artifact, respiratory artifact and instrumental noise represent the source components. The BSS is carried out by a two-step method including an ICA. In the first step, the method uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as a preprocessing step, and the Principal Components are then used to derive sat and the Independent Components, where the Independent Components are determined in a second step. In one embodiment, the independent components are obtained by high-order decorrelation of the principal components, achieved by maximizing the sum of the squares of the higher-order cumulants of the plurality of mixture signals.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a memory chip for use in an oximeter sensor, or an associated adapter or connector circuit. The memory chip allows the storing of different data to provide enhanced capabilities for the oximeter sensor. In addition to providing unique data to store in such a memory, the invention describes unique uses of data stored in such a memory. The data stored in the memory chip may include information relating to use of the oximeter sensor. For example, the memory chip may encode a sensor model identification that can be displayed on a display screen when the sensor is connected to an oximeter monitor. The memory may also encode a range of operating parameters such as light levels over which the sensor can function or a maximum drive current. The operating parameters are read and interpreted by a controller circuit to control the pulse oximetry system.
